Many of the statues, idols, art, and other exhibits were destroyed by jackhammers and sledgehammers. The museum contained exhibits of all of the history of the area.
The Mosul museum is the second largest in Iraq. It was built in 1952, expanded later and is believed to be one of the largest in the world.
